This "benefit" they tout is 100% misleading.
You have two options to redeem Aeroplan points, you have ClassicFlight awards which are simply fixed mileage gets you from A to B subject to space availability. You also have MarketFares which are more expensive (by a lot - 2x typically) for flights with no availability and THESE are the flights that the 20-35% discount is applicable to. In most cases, you will still end up paying more points than just using ClassicFlight awards.
In all honesty, the ONLY benefit I receive as a dPlatinum member is simply that my calls go through to the call centre quickly as they prioritize platinum members to the front of the line. This is absolutely and truly the only benefit that is in any way usable.
Oh I see how it is... I post all the info, and you post the referral link......
